Until next year….. A big thank you to everyone who joined us last Friday, August 30th, for our final GBS Friday Night at the Factory event of the year. It was another fantastic evening, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to close out the season.

Gates opened at 5 pm, and it didn’t take long for the car park to fill up with an incredible variety of vehicles, creating a vibrant scene as always. Everyone enjoyed the freshly baked pizza, which was so popular it sold out, and enjoyed drinks served throughout the evening raising money for our Chosen Charites Notts & Lincs Air Ambulance & Cancer Research.

We are thrilled to announce that we will be supplying a range of ATR products to the newly launched TOCA Junior Championship. This exciting development comes after an extensive testing program, and we are now gearing up for the start of manufacturing in the coming weeks.

This is a thrilling opportunity, as the public will get their first look at the car and share their reactions. It’s just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting season ahead!
These launches not only mark the countdown to our inaugural race but also set the stage for more exciting announcements in the coming weeks and months. We can't wait to share what’s next!

Evo Magazine visits GBS & enjoys the Zero out on track.....

GBS ZERO: THE 21ST CENTURY CATERHAM 7…….

Its been a busy few months for the GBS team with lots of exciting things planned and happening. We were thrilled to recently welcome the team from Evo magazine to our GBS headquarters. The visit was an excellent opportunity to showcase what we do best—crafting exceptional sports cars. Evo’s visit included a behind-the-scenes look at our workshop, where they met with our dedicated team and learned more about the meticulous process that goes into building our cars and products.

But the day didn’t end there! Before their visit we also had the pleasure of joining Evo on one of their track days with our Zero demonstrator at Bedford Autodrome, putting our car through its paces on the track. The Zero performed brilliantly, demonstrating the performance and handling that make it a standout choice for driving enthusiasts. We’re excited to share that you can now read more about this in the latest issue of the EVO Magazine (September 2024 Issue /325). Buy your copy of EVO Magazine here.

These are just a few of the exciting things happening at GBS right now. With more events, collaborations, and product launches on the horizon, there’s plenty to look forward to. We will share more updates with you soon.

We are extremely proud to have raised money for the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance charity...

We are extremely proud to have raised a fantastic £1,852.29 for the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance charity. A big thank you to all the generous donations we receive at our Cars & Coffee events and other events we host. We were delighted to be invited to the LNAA HQ yesterday to meet the team and see what happens behind the scenes as well as present some of the amazing team with a cheque yesterday for the money that we have raised so far. The helicopter was out on a mission when we visited but we saw the Critical Care Cars which are just as amazing equipped with the latest medical technology, and we got to see what is involved in the service that they offer which is truly amazing.
The money raised helps buy vital equipment that allows the crew to take critical A&E care to injured people and save lives. The Air Ambulance is called out 4-5 times a day on average, often dealing with traumatic scenes. We are in awe of the amazing work that they do saving lives every day – Which is all funded by donations. Click here to see more about Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance charity.

We are also pleased to collect for the Cancer Research UK Charity at our events too. We all feel and hope you agree that The Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance is a fantastic service and has helped & will continue to help many people, as well as the Cancer Research UK that is again a fantastic charity that makes a big difference to so many people and their families. We look forward to raising more money from future events for these fantastic charities, visit our event page to see more details about our events. (The next GBS Cars & Coffee event will be announced soon).

Students enjoy a Factory Tour at GBS.....

Earlier this month we welcomed students from St George’s Academy from Sleaford, Lincolnshire to enjoy a full factory to show what we do. They got to see what we do and the whole process of building a sports car along with the products that we manufacture, with nearly every part on the car manufactured on site by our team they were very impressed and inspired by what we do.
The Zero build is an ideal educational tool in engineering and technical programs. Students are able to gain practical experience developing their knowledge and understanding of engineering in a practical application. As well as being an exciting and captivating project for students a GBS Zero build maintains interest and enthusiasm with a real sense of achievement as each stage is completed. With the end result not only being an enjoyable sports car but a worth while asset too.
